On Monday 16th November, we will be thinking about Anti-Bullying at St Matthew’s with our annual Odd Socks Day. All you need to do is wear odd socks! It’s a great way to celebrate what makes us all unique in Anti-Bullying Week! Odd Socks Day is delivered in partnership with CBeebies and CBBC star Andy Day and his band, Andy and the Odd Socks.
There is no pressure to wear the latest fashion or to buy expensive costumes. All you have to do to take part is wear odd socks to school for the day with your uniform. The brighter the better! Staff will be taking part too.
On the day and across the week, children will take part in activities along the theme of ‘break the silence’.
The school has adopted the following definition of bullying:
‘The repetitive, intentional hurting of one person or group by another person or group, where the relationship involves an imbalance of power. Bullying can be physical, verbal or psychological. It can happen face-to-face or online.’
